It works for me, but it would drive some other people nuts. Stop trying to impose your view of the UK on everyone else, its not all bad, but its aint perfect either. People have other reasons for wanting to return that outweigh the spongers and antisocial elements that you find to some degree whereever you end up.

Just my opinion, but I think you should seriously take a step back... look at what you have, you are very fortunate (in my eyes) and your words could come back to haunt you.

NZ battered the hell out of us, we wouldn't even visit for a holiday now, OH felt like he was treated like a 5 year old in the workplace.
Being a mechanic over there was dire... am not kidding, you are looked down on as a no-body.
